The American Spirit Lives In Families Of Fallen Warriors

A group of American families who have lost loved ones in Iraq have arrived there to tell the Troops that America supports them, loves them and believes in their mission!
Please read the whole article and join me in thanking God for raising up such good people.

Gold Star Father Joseph Williams echoed her words. “If we cut and run from Iraq, that will deal a devastating blow to the war against terrorism. Will any terrorist group ever fear us again, or will they know that they need only outlast us,” Williams said.

The group plans to meet with U.S. troops stationed in Iraq, as well as talking to the Iraqi people and asking them what message they would like to have delivered to the American public. They also expressed an interest in meeting with Iraqi government officials, although they say that no such meetings have yet been formalized.

They also said they will be speaking to international news agencies, especially American-based news organizations.

Their message to the media and the American public:

“Our success in Iraq depends on the spirit and high moral of those with boots on the ground. There are only two directions to drive a war, victory or defeat. Our victory will come with a positive message from home and Americans who support our continued freedom,” said Gold Star Mother, Debra Argel.

In an emotional message recorded by Gold Star Father John Holley, Mr. Holley broke down in tears when he explained:

“I’m here because I want to visit with the troops and let them know that it’s OK… it’s OK when they lose a friend… and to give ‘em a hug… and still let them know that we care about them, and that we support them 100%.”
